Dear Reader,

I want to start this article by saying that you will be ok. No matter the outcome of the relationship you will be ok. I know long distance is hard and believe me it's been a journey for me too. There are nights I just want to curl up and cry and I wish my significant other was there for me. Holding me. There are days where I'm driving and I look in the passenger seat and It's like an empty feeling, them not being there. But I want you to know that distance ( hopefully ) is only temporary. If you're like me and you like answers as to what's going to happen in the future with your relationship... unfortunately that's not that this article is for. Distance is the hardest thing I've ever done. I've driven my friends crazy asking them for advice, I've driven my significant other crazy because of the nervousness that comes with the uncertainty of us not being together. Not being together is the worst thing because you don't know what they're doing or feeling or you cant get a sense of their tone when they text. It's a mess. You miss them, yes but some days you wonder if they're worth it. If all of this struggle and worrying and crying and agony is worth it.

I want to include here a story I read that has really made me think and maybe will help you too:

After reading this it really made me think about how I felt when I was with my significant other. How happy and how much I was laughing and how time flew by when we were together. What I'm trying to get at is, don't give power to your worries when you two are apart. Give power to the positive memories and how they made you feel when you're together. THAT is the most important feeling in the world. Give it strength. You are more than you're doubts. Figure out who you are without them being there with you. Just know they will love you and cheer you on even from miles away.

I hope this article helped. Just breathe and remember EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT. You've got this.

Sincerely,

B
